[ubuntu-in] How many of you use an Firewall / AntiVirus

[Narendra Diwate]

A recent post by Ramnarayan on Malware on Linux got me thinking about this.

I do have a running Firewall (ufw with Gufw) but do not have an Antivirus or
Security Suite. Even the firewall has just one rule to allow incoming
torrent clients on a specific port.
Other than this there is no other security. And i frequently use a Pendrive
to copy files from and to heavily infected Win Machines. I know they are
infected because I delete a lot of exe files and auto inf files from the
pendrive when i connect it to Ubuntu. I have a separate partition that
contains my data, music, photos etc that is NOT Auto mounted on login. I do
not run any code that i am unsure of what it does.

What about you guys. How many of you use a Comprehensive security suite or
Antivirus, antispyware or malware programs? What other procedures do you use
to keep safe?
